ABOUT THIS SITE >>> This site is a blog as well as an archive. It gives visibility to the continues working of radical_hope, its current move to radical_house, the research project Distraction As Discipline (2016 - 2019) and the process of OTÇOE - works for passers-by, a working trajectory (2013 and 2014).

radical_house is a long term project and has a threefold nature: it presents a physical place, a framework and a logic. When in 2013 teaching and mentoring became an extension of Langsdorf's artistic practices now radical_house stems from her pedagogical experience where 'being in dialogue' with others is her main principle.

Distraction As Discipline is an investigation into enactivist principles in art and education (research trajectory at KASK School of Arts Ghent 2016-19). It considers the potential of performance art and pedagogy in general, in resisting the current and massive desubjectivation, by critically reclaiming both, attention for the moment and participation in a process.

OTÇOE - works for passers-by was the development of radical_hope's artistic practice in the city and questioned how and by whom this practice (and its bodily, social and economical aspects) is perceived. The title refers to the public of a city and to how we encounter and register most things on our way through the city: Out of The Corner of Our Eyes. OTÇOE.

Disclosing Practices...

22-02-2024 [• in practice ]







Disclosing Practices... is the continuation of Choreography as Conditioning, a collective process of "writing thorugh practices" that resulted in a book series with the same name edited by Alex Arteaga and Heike Langsdorf, and, as framework, finds facilitation and support by radical_hope.


How to perceive and activate a published book series as an opportunity for continue practicing?

How to approach books as co-practitioners in ongoing processes of sense-making instead of as completed and concluded containers of knowledge?


These questions were posed during the launch of the books series Choreography as Conditioning * (eds. Alex Arteaga and Heike Langsdorf) in 2021.

The tentative answer is Disclosing Practice..., an open series of workshops, retreats, dialogues, performances and public presentations supporting artistic research practices to be uncovered, revisited, reconsidered, rediscovered, disrupted, re-iterated, re-activated, shared, shown and understood anew in new contexts, and through new practitioners.

Each "disclosure" conceives, identifies and mobilizes suitable formats, lengths, locations, structures and practitioners for generating and offering conditions for one practice to be opened up, revealed, unveiled, displayed, demonstrated, exposed or unfolded.

The first "disclosures" of practices are expected for the second half of 2024 by Emilie Gallier, Alex Arteaga and Heike Langsdorf and in 2025 by Anouk Llaurens and Fransien van der Putt.


* This series includes Thinking Conditioning through Practice (2018), Practicing Futures through Voicing (2019), The Orphans of Tar (2019), Choreography as Self-Conditioning (2021), and ...Through Practices (2021) --  published by Art Paper Books: https://artpapereditions.org/products/choreography-as-conditioning-bundle
